Description: The Host 2013 Movie – A gripping sci-fi story about parasitic aliens known as “Souls.” These beings invade planets by taking over the dominant species’ bodies while suppressing their consciousness. The Souls have nearly conquered Earth, believing humans are too violent to deserve the planet. Once a host is taken, the original consciousness is erased, though the Souls can access their memories. Hosts are identified by silver rings in their eyes.
The plot follows Melanie Stryder, a human on the run, who is captured and implanted with a Soul named “Wanderer.” The Seeker, another Soul, tasks Wanderer with accessing Melanie’s memories to locate a group of unassimilated humans. Surprisingly, Melanie’s consciousness remains intact, and she communicates with Wanderer internally. Over time, they form an unlikely friendship.
Wanderer reveals to the Seeker that Melanie was traveling with her brother Jamie and her boyfriend Jared Howe to find her uncle Jeb in the desert. Discovering that Melanie is still present, the Seeker decides to transfer into Melanie’s body to extract the information. With Melanie’s guidance, Wanderer escapes to the desert, where Jeb finds her and takes her to a hidden cave shelter where the remaining humans, including Jared and Jamie, are hiding.
Wanderer’s arrival is met with hostility by most humans, except for Jeb and Jamie. Melanie advises Wanderer to keep her consciousness a secret to avoid provoking others, though she later allows Wanderer to tell Jamie. As Wanderer interacts with the humans, she gradually earns their trust, particularly bonding with Ian O’Shea.
Meanwhile, the Seeker leads a search party into the desert. During a confrontation with the shelter’s supply team, two humans, Aaron and Brandt, sacrifice themselves to avoid capture. In the chaos, the Seeker accidentally kills another Soul, prompting her superiors to abandon the search.
The Host 2013 is a tale of survival, trust, and the complex relationship between humans and aliens. It explores themes of identity, coexistence, and resistance in a world dominated by an alien force.
